Pumpkin Cottage – ARTBAR

We carved pumpkins as a family for the first time in years! It used to be a family tradition, for the 13 years we lived on a cul-de-sac and got over 400 trick-or-treaters every year. But then we moved and now we don’t even get one visitor on Halloween night.

This weekend, though, our carving mojo came back and we decided to spend a whole day making some pumpkins for our stone wall. I had an idea for a pumpkin cottage and it literally took me all day. Not that it was hard to make, just a lot of trial and error. And finding twigs and all the other materials. Let me tell you and show you how I made it…

Carve a pumpkin to look like a charming cottage, with a twig door and moss window boxes.
